Thanks evo - I'll have a look (I don't need a lot of encouragement).

From a quick glance through it has a fantastic range. Prices look reasonable - I can use Grim's 'booko' site to check.

Good but bugger!

Yeah, I'm the same. Books are so damn expensive too.


Worse, they've just installed a monster sized Borders at my local shopping centre . The allure is hard to resist.

I have copies of Olando Figes's A People's Tragedy and Natasha's Dance and have been meaning to read them for an age. They are too heavy to heft around though and thus they sit unread ('tho not unopened) on my shelf. I have a number of other books that have experienced the same fate.

I am halfway through A People's Tragedy (have put it down for something else) and I bought Natasha's Dance but havent touched it.

There is a corker of a bookshop I walk past in London (Hatchards) which I struggle to walk past without purchasing something. Outstanding range on non fiction and particularly history books.

There are a lot of magnificent bookshops in London (Charing Cross Rd is obviously particularly great) and great prices if you earn pounds.

I'd say that my percentage is about 98 bought to about 2 others (borrowed). I read at least a book a week so, over the last couple of years that is about the figure, both in percentage and real terms.
